Creation Station: Two Tone Cardstock

 

It's the first Sunday of the month, and time for this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! Our theme this month is Two Tone Cardstock. 

 

The number one reason I love this product is that we now have cardstock in two shades of every Stampin' Up! color! I've loved using multiple shades of color on my projects, and I decided to highlight the beautiful shades of Secret Sea on my card today. 

 

To create my diagonal striped background, I glued 1/4" strips of Secret Sea Two Tone Cardstock to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then trimmed the edges. I created a pattern by alternating between the light and dark sides of the Two Tone Cardstock.

 

The other products I've used on my card are from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection. Here is a full list of products used on this card:

 

Stamps: Traditional Labels

Ink: Versamark

Paper:  Thick Basic White, Real Red, Secret Sea, Basic White, Secret Sea Two Tone Cardstock, Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Traditional Sparkling Sequins, Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Textured Notes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has done with Two Tone Cardstock!

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC538: Relax & Enjoy

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a product challenge, and the featured product is one that I'm sure many of you have in your craft rooms - the Country Woods Designer Series Paper!

 

This paper was a perfect pairing with the bundle I'm featuring this week, the Notes & Totes Bundle. I used the Country Woods paper for the boardwalk on my card.

 

A few other fun details on this card:

• I used Wink of Stella on the sunglasses - because how fun are sparkly sunglasses?!
• the Misty Moonlight paper in the background is from the Kintsugi Inspirations pack - perfect for a cloudy/ocean scene
• those little pearls are the Riverside Irregular Pearls, and they're on sale in the Last Chance section of the store

#TGIFC537: Floral Charm Thank You Card

This week at TGIF Challenges, the challenge is a sketch challenge, and I really like this one!

 

I've used the Label Me Grateful Bundle and the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper for my card.

 

Night of Navy and Timid Tiger is not a color combination I would usually gravitate towards, but these are the colors in the Floral Charm paper, and it turns out that I really like it! If you like this color combination too, I've created a graphic with all of the colors in the card that you can save for later:
